I don’t know if I have a warp problem or a weft problem!  I am an experienced tapestry weaver…working mostly in wool.  However, I decided  I wanted to weave some table runners/placemats so I warped the loom with a fairly thin, but very strong nylon warp, 15 epi. Originally I wanted to use the same thread  for the weft, but found it did not cover the warp.  I then tried every thing I had around, mercerized cotton, rayon, cotton/rayon.  Nothing covers because the warp is too slippery.  Does anyone know if any material that might work?  I live in Mexico so am limited for shopping here, but will be flying back to the US this week and would like to find something while I am there.

I am not sure what you mean by the weft not covering the warp, but my first thought is that 15 epi might be too loose a sett for a "fairly thin" warp.
